They know that the weekends are for people like you who are in need of a well-deserved break, so they’ve committed themselves to whip up the best comfort food they can think of. Enjoying Arbite would take more than just a few bites though, as their ambience is part of their magic. But it is perfect for those who wish to slow down and take a break, at a price point that doesn’t hurt the wallet.

There’s nothing “common” about the coffee here at Common Man Coffee Roasters, as they take serious pride in their caffeinated concoctions. Best of all, they all pair perfectly with their all-day brunch-style menu. You can order coffee prepared however way you want – fast brew, slow brew, nitro… However you imbibe your caffeine, they can definitely do it.

3. The Knolls At The Capella

Sentosa has many restaurants, but few stand out in the brunch department like The Knolls. Housed in Capella Hotel, The Knolls is known for its gorgeous views overlooking the sea and its top-grade Mediterranean cuisine.

The LoKal is all about wholesome Western-style comfort food with a strong focus on creating almost everything in-house – the butter, sauces, pickles, and meats are all made on site. The brunch options are informed by an Australian palate which manifests itself as Smashed Avocado with Ricotta, Roasted Pumpkin Salad, and Steak & Eggs – all of which are done to perfection. Need a cuppa? The restaurant makes a really good Flat White out of freshly ground Sarnies coffee beans, and a custom built Slayer espresso machine. Now that’s attention to craft.
